Abstract: Abstract There is a substantial literature analysing the evolution of business enterprise in India with reference to particular communities and castes. Organized research in this direction is traceable to Dhananjaya Ramchandra Gadgil’s two oft-cited mimeographs of the 1950s and an article by Helen B. Lamb during the same decade.1 These preliminary inquiries led to more comprehensive studies, including Dwijendra Tripathi’s edited volume emanating from a business history seminar at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, in 1982, and Thomas Timberg’s treatise on the industrial transition of the Marwaris.2
